ways
of arranging the English books and 4! ways of arranging the
Science books. (A1)
Then we have 4 types of books which can be arranged in 4! ways. (A1)
3! × 5! × 4 × 4! = 414 720 (M1)A1
(b) There are 3! ways of arranging the subject books, and for each
of these there are 2 ways of putting the dictionary next to the
Mathematics books. (M1)(A1)
3! × 5! × 4! × 3! × 2 = 207 360 A1

2. EITHER
with no restrictions six people can be seated in 5! = 120 ways A1
we now count the number of ways in which the two restricted people will be
sitting next to each other
call the two restricted people p1 and p2
they sit next to each other in two ways A1
the remaining people can then be seated in 4! ways A1
the six may be seated (p1 and p2 next to each other) in 2 × 4! = 48 ways M1
with p1 and p2 not next to each other the number of ways = 120 – 48 = 72 A1 N3
OR
person p 1 seated at table in 1 way A1
p2 then sits in any of 3 seats (not next to p1) M1A1
the remaining 4 people can then be seated in 4! ways A1
number ways with p1 not next to p2 = 3 × 4! = 72 ways A1 N3
Note: If candidate starts with 6! instead of 5!, potentially leading to an
answer of 432, do not penalise.
